I've been following this team's work for a while and what they're doing is super interesting. The file format they created and put into the LF, Vortex, is very welcome innovation in the space: https://github.com/vortex-data/vortex

I'm excited to start doing some experimentation with Vortex to see how it can improve our products.

Great stuff, congrats to Will and team!

https://vortex.dev doesn't work in my Firefox:

Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading vortex.dev (see the browser console for more information).

Console: unable to create webgl context

Presumably you don't have WebGL enabled or supported - the main page is just a cute 3D landing page.

You may be interested in https://github.com/vortex-data/vortex which of course has an overview and links to their docs and benchmark pages.

Works for me. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:142.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/142.0

If anyone ever writes a post of why that error keeps happening with browsers that should support it, I'd be incredibly grateful. Keep seeing it in our (unrelated to OP company) Sentry logs and zero chance to reproduce them.

Handful of causes:

+ No hardware acceleration enabled.

+ Multiple graphics cards, and browser can't decide which to use.

+ Race conditions that can rarely cause a mount of 3d onto a 2d context (often happens to Unity).

Privacy plugins which disable WebGL (fingerprinting)

I assume it's just people who do not have a graphics card
